“The council expressed concern about the length of the contract. There was not a majority in support of either of the proposals that we received,” said Mayor Jim Calon.

It’s back to the drawing board fro the Plattsburgh Boat Basin and Nav Marine Management companies, because the council decided the city’s proposal requirements need changing.

“It seems like it is going to stall for a moment now and we don't know what is going to happen next,” said Yanik Aube, Navtours president.

Navtours supported Nav Marine Management. Nav Marine Management with its request for proposal process. Nav Marine Management is 80 percent locally run and funded, and has some Canadian investors.

A number of concerns about the actual proposals were expressed during the meeting. Some worried the Nav Marine Management plan caters to wealthy tourists, while others were concerned about one company having a monopoly on the waterfront.

The mayor said the council will begin refining exactly what it is looking for in a proposal in a meeting next week.

“I wish there was a way that we could weather them both together and have a nice hybrid product and maybe that's where we'll end up. Who knows?” said Calnon.
